Step-by-step instructions

1. Go to your settings

2. Click Policies

3. Select Overtime Policies

Your overtime polices can be viewed and adjusted here. If your state has any legally-required policies, those will already be in effect.

You can set your own policies at the facility level, the Job position level, or the Staff level:

  • Facility level policies will apply to all staff within your facility.

  • Job Position level policies will apply to all staff that hold a specific job position.

  • Staff level policies allow you to give unique overtime policies to individual staff members.

Note: When setting position or staff level overtime policies, you can switch between departments by clicking the tabs pictured here:

When configuring your policies, there are 4 different fields to work with:

  • Daily 1.5X: The number of hours one can work in a day before a 1.5x overtime wage kicks in.
    ​Daily 2X: The number of hours one can work in a day before a 2x overtime wage kicks in.

  • Weekly 1.5X: The number of hours one can work in a week before a 1.5x overtime wage kicks in.

  • Consecutive Days: The maximum number of days one can work consecutively, before overtime kicks in on further consecutive days.

Note: You are not required to fill out all 4 fields. For example, if you do not do 2x overtime, that field can be left blank.

When you are done, make sure to save your work with the Save Changes button at the bottom!
